Did anyone else see?

Did anyone else see that the Democratic Party in Japan slaughtered the Liberal Democratic Party in this last election on Sunday? You know what even more strange, that both of the 2 main parties in Japan use the word Democratic. Even more interesting is that, from what I understand, the Liberal Democratic Party is actually more conservative than the Democratic Party. Get your names right people. Liberal does not mean conservative, or does it, wait, I’m confused…

This marks the first time in 54 years, 54 YEARS!, that the Liberal Dems. will not rule the Diet. Craziness. Guess voting does make a difference in Japan. Glad to see change, whether or not it’s a good thing, we’re all glad to see someone making a difference.
